The Husia is thus a vital step toward the re-creation and restoration of our spiritual foundation. (1869 hits)

The quest for spiritual enrichment among Black people in the physical and cultural Diaspora has led to the adoption of the Holy Books of other peoples; the Torah, the Bible and the (Duran. Ironically, the sacred literature of ancient Egypt which predates those texts by thousands of years is the source of much of the wisdom in those Holy Books, as Or. Karenga points out. The fact that Black people could find spiritual comfort in those alien scriptures speaks both to the African contributions to those religions and the intensity of the African spiritual quest. With all due regard to the Black tradition within the so-called great religions, it is now time to "return to the source".
The Husia is thus a vital step toward the re-creation and restoration of our spiritual foundation. The texts selected by Dr. Karenga are from the truly great books of ancient Egypt.
